Well, Cory, given that heaven will consist of an eternity sat on a fluffy white cloud listening to harp music, give me hell every time..!! Face up to it, my man, you’re just going to rot or be turned into ashes like the rest of us! Be grateful that out of the thousands of eggs and millions of sperms produced by your parents, that particular egg and that particular sperm gave rise to Cory Hall. ‘You’ could have been ‘Bill’ or ‘George’ Hall – or even ‘Sue’ Hall! That’s down to chance.Try the following line of enquiry: Alan Turing + morphogenesis; Belusov and the BZ experiments; order and chaos as being two sides of the same coin – which means that complexity arises from simplicity – and the best known example is (of course!) evolution. That way, you can become a well-educated pianist and appreciate you’re – once in a lifetime! – life even more than you do now. Happy Xmas.
Yet another example of how educational qualifications are meaningless when evaluating an argument.
I’m always fascinated by how some highly-educated people can be this aggressively ignorant.
